Radiation-Induced Recurrent Vesicovaginal Fistula—Treatment with Adjuvant Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection and Martius Flap Placement—Case Report and Review of Literature

Vesicovaginal fistula is the non-physiological connection between the urinary bladder and vagina. This results in continuous urine leakage. In developed countries, the prevalence of this condition is low and affects (mainly) women with a history of gynaecological procedures or radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to present the therapeutic process of a patient with radiation-induced, recurrent vesicovaginal fistula. The thirty-eight-year-old patient underwent radical hysterectomy with follow-up radiotherapy due to cervical cancer. Five years after the therapy, she was diagnosed with vesicovaginal fistula. After two unsuccessful Latzko procedures and two adjuvant platelet-rich plasma injections, a third Latzko reconstructive surgery was performed with additional transposition of the Martius flap—with successful closure of the fistula.
